■Aperture

Aperture is adjusted using camera controls.

■Built-in Flash Units

When using the built-in flash on cameras equipped with a built-in flash unit, shoot at ranges of 0.6 m (2 ft) or more and remove the lens hood to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the lens obscures the built-in flash).

■The Lens Hood

The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would otherwise cause flare or ghosting.

Align the lens hood lock mark (—{) with the lens hood mounting mark (●) on the lens (e).

When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the symbol on its base and avoid gripping it too tightly. Vignetting may occur if the hood is not correctly attached.

The hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use. When the hood is reversed, it can be attached and removed by rotating it while holding it near the lock mark (—{).
